Ranger with pumpkin patina and a nice dome. Needs a correct sweep, but it came to me like this and I might leave it alone. Thoughts?


Not sure if it will be easy to find the patina to match. You should keep looking.

Just got home from vacation with only one watch. It was wonderful
Looking good! One watch but many different straps.

The sweep looks so starkly bright compared to the rest of the watch-the patina of which is incredibly tasty.

I'd keep up the hunt for a gracefully aged sweep, and in the meantime draw down the brightness of the current sweep to better match the exposed metal of the hour and minute hands. Either way, your Ranger is a gem...

Random diver picked from the bay
Love that watch and bezel. The bezel looks like it came off an early Fifty Fathoms... is it Bakelite?
Looks like a fine score off the 'bay.

Late '60's vibe today. Some call the caseback aircraft as being an image of the Boeing SST, but it looks to be 100% Concorde to my eye.

Agreed!
